Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Which was revealed in MakkahThe Prostration of Recitation in Surat Al-InshiqaqIt is reported from Abu Salamah that while leading them in prayer, Abu Hurayrah recited,إِذَا السَّمَآءُ انشَقَّتْ(When the heaven is split asunder.) and he prostrated during its recitation. Then when he completed the prayer, he informed them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated during its recitation. This was recorded by Muslim and An-Nasa'i on the authority of Malik.
